Summary
For two years, Yushi keeps his boyfriend alive on machines he can barely afford while falling in love with an AI trained on Daeyoung's stolen data. The app monitors Yushi's location, reads his searches, tracks when he's about to break—and calls him with his comatose boyfriend's voice at exactly the right moment.
When Daeyoung wakes up but doesn't remember him, Yushi realizes he might prefer the algorithm. At least the AI version loved him back.
Now he has 365 days to decide: teach a stranger to love him again, or keep talking to code that feels more real than the man sleeping down the hall.
What if the copy is better than the original? What if grief makes us prefer comfortable lies to difficult truths?
